About Bonnie
Bonnie Saunders is Canadian Métis and passionate entrepreneur who has been both an artist and an artisan for most of her life. Working from a small Saskatchewan hamlet, she is a CEO, sole proprietor, a community minded volunteer, a wife, a mother, a designer and an amateur photographer too! After spending 5 years honing her craft before she began her business in 2001, she still faces the difficulty of the tricky steps it takes to transform one plate. When she goes to create one plate, she actually attempts to make 3 plates in hopes that one will turn out and thankfully one usually does. Her renowned technique has catapulted her into a niche offering a unique product like no other.
Bonnie takes immense pride in providing these exquisite and commemorative pieces that serve as tokens of honor for the valiant men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving Canada. As a Canadian artisan, she pours her passion into transforming these beautiful items, each one an embodiment of gratitude and reverence. Bonnie considers it a profound privilege to contribute to the tradition of paying homage to those who have selflessly safeguarded our nation. The members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, police services, fire departments, and emergency, rescue and medical services across Canada display extraordinary valor and unwavering commitment. They brave harsh conditions and face life-threatening situations to protect our communities and uphold the values we hold dear. From the brave soldiers who defend our nation's sovereignty to the dedicated first responders who rush to the aid of those in need, their sacrifices, courage, and dedication are the bedrock of our society. Bonnie's commemorative and personalized pieces stand as a small tribute to their colossal contributions, a way to honor the heroes who safeguard Canada with unwavering resolve and selflessness. Bonnie is happy to contribute a portion of each plate sold to the fund associated with the badge or crest that is featured on the plate.
These stunning mementos that will be cherished by many for generations to come have been well received by members of British Royalty, the Premiers of Western Canada, the Governor General of Canada, several Canadian hockey greats including Paul Coffey, Ric Nattress and Theoren Fleury and most importantly, many brave men and women who risk their lives for us and also in memory of those who paid the ultimate price.

I was so thrilled to share the very exciting news that I had been blessed with permission to offer this official product approved by the Department of Canadian Heritage in celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee! Her Majesty's 70 year reign can be honoured and remembered in a very special way and I am humbled beyond words to be a part of it!"
